The European Automated Clearing House Association (EACHA) is the technical cooperation forum of European ACHs. Its membership, currently comprising 27 institutions, gathers twice a year to discuss European developments in retail payments. The philosophy of EACHA is that healthy
competition also means teamwork. This is why EACHA believes firmly in developing
a common vision for
the future, and favouring harmonious implementation of European policies and schemes including interoperability based on open standards.

EACHA aims to:

be a forum enabling its members to share information

advance the views of its members on issues of general interest

resolve specific issues by, for instance, developing common guidelines for
the clearing and settlement of SEPA payments.
